SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon announces it has greenlit The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel for an unprecedented two seasons on Prime Video. The Amazon
Original Series, from renowned creator Amy
Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls) and Executive Producer Daniel
Palladino (Family Guy), is Amazon Studios’ first multi-season
greenlight of a new series in its history.

The series, written and directed by Sherman-Palladino, stars Rachel
Brosnahan(House of Cards) as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a 1958
New York City woman who has everything she’s ever wanted—the perfect
husband, two kids, and an elegant Upper West Side apartment perfect for
hosting Yom Kippur dinner. But her perfect life suddenly takes an
unexpected turn and Midge discovers a previously unknown talent—one that
changes her life forever. She charts a course that takes her from her
comfortable life on Riverside Drive, through the basket houses and
nightclubs of Greenwich Village as she storms the world of stand-up
comedy…a course that will ultimately lead her to a spot on Johnny
Carson’s couch.

“In her onstage debut, Mrs. Maisel killed and had audiences responding
overwhelmingly with digital applause,” said Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy,
Drama & VR, Amazon Studios. “Like any great young stand-up, we’re
excited to see what she has to say next and for a long time to come.
That made it an easy decision to order two seasons from Amy and her
incredible cast. We can’t wait to bring it to customers soon.”

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel pilot, currently available for all
Amazon customers at amazon.com/originals,
has garnered an average customer rating of 4.8, with 92% 5-star reviews.

Below are customer quotes for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:

“I really enjoyed the pilot and hope that this show gets picked up. I
love how Mrs. Maisel is breaking one stereotype after another all
while being incredibly hilarious. This one is a winner!”

“I can’t wait to see the rest of this funny, refreshing and very
enjoyable program.”

“Have never written a review before but this is exceptional!. Each
character shines as they offer a peek into the life of the star.
Looking forward to more!!!”
